It serves as a key link in the transnational logistics chain, catering to growing import, export, and transit cargo demands from Laos and Northeast Thailand to the sea.

Spanning an area of over 85,000 sq.m, the total investment for the project amounts to VND236 billion ($9.2 million).

Once completed, the port will feature four berths capable of accommodating ships with a tonnage of up to 70,000 DWT and international passenger vessels with a capacity of 225,000 GT.

The project aims to establish a multipurpose port that will support economic activities, cater to industrial parks within the province and its surrounding areas.

Other localities such as Ha Tinh, Thanh Hoa and Thua Thien Hue have seen positive results at their port facilities after implementing similar incentive policies.

The port serves the Quang Tri’s Southeast Economic Zone, local industrial parks, and transit goods from Laos and northeastern Thailand.

The renovated port expects to accommodate the growing number of international cruise ships, thereby boosting the city's maritime tourism industry.
